I would like to see more comments on this, the AED trainers that
I use when teaching use the AHA protocols which call for at least
3 series of 3 stacked shocks in the scenarios one can program in.
Then of course the AEDs that are actually fully operating defibrillators
and pacers that our BLS providers use in manual mode can shock
as many times as needed with the persistent rhythm.
I think maybe I will make a few calls.
